If anything, the market correction is the period of limited return that we have seen in the last one year or so, the main problem for maybe a quarter or so; but beyond that I do not see a very strong impact if we have a minor decline in the long-term average rainfall this year versus last year...

When you go through the results that have come out now and as we speak, more than 90% of the market cap weight results are already out, banks have done well and then the commentary from the banks have been positive as well and something that we have been overweight on, so that is continuing to look good..
